Chapter 60: The Fiery Factory
Duanwangfu.
The news that Linhai City was breached by the Jin soldiers made the atmosphere here look a little dignified.
After receiving an urgent report from Jiangbei, King Duan immediately summoned important generals and officials of Jiangning Mansion to discuss countermeasures.
"Once Linhai City is broken, the land north of the river is a flat river for the Jin people, and it is difficult for other cities to resist the attack of the Jin people." Liu Jiangbai's brows tightened.
After a deep sigh, he continued: "Chao Gang wanted to surrender to the Jin State and was killed by Ren Anyi himself, and now Ren Anyi and Zhang Yan are leading the remnants to recruit rebels in Jiangbei to continue to resist the Jin people. ”
"This is a mistake, Liufu Yin, how can you trust Anyi's family, no one knows what happened in Linhai, how can you easily tell who is loyal and who is traitor based on Ren Anyi's urgent report, this Zhang Yan is a traitor of the Jin State, it may not be that he colluded with Zhang Yan to murder General Chao Gang, resulting in the fall of Linhai City."
Opposite Liu Jiangbai, a person suddenly spoke, this person was wearing a webbed head and a red official robe, it was Jiang Ningtong, who had just arrived and sentenced Qin Shiren.
Liu Jiangbai slapped the table heavily, "Qin Shiren, the current national crisis, now is not the time for party strife, who Chao Gang is, don't you know yourself?" ”
"Chao Gang naturally knows who the subordinate is, but I don't know if Liu Fuyin knows Ren Anyi and Zhang Yanqi." Qin Shiren was not in a hurry or slow.
Zhao Ji's gaze roamed back and forth between Liu Jiangbai and Qin Shiren, and now he was out of idea by the two of them.
Catching a glimpse of Lin Mu sitting at the end, he asked, "Lin Shi, what do you think?" ”
was named by Zhao Ji, and Lin Mu suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, which made him unable to hide if he wanted to.
Since Jin Bing went south, he and Ning Jun were marginalized, and Duan Wang and Liu Jiangbai rarely paid attention to him, so he was used to being a quiet observer in the corner, and now Zhao Ji suddenly called him, which made him a little unaccustomed.
"As the saying goes, listen to his words and watch his deeds, His Highness only needs to continue to stare at Ren Anyi and Zhang Yan's every move, if the two of them can use it, they will use it, and if they can't use it, they will abandon it." Lin Mu said lightly.
"Lin Shi is justified in saying this." King Duan showed an appreciative look, he said: "Linhai City is broken, I am afraid that the northern army has no power to return to the sky, if Jiangning is lost again, the Chinese Dynasty is in danger, this king also hopes that you will abandon your prejudices at this time, work together, if someone has two hearts, secretly dismantle the platform, then do not blame the king for being polite." ”
Qin Shiren's expression changed slightly, and he said in unison with everyone: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Ordered everyone to disperse, and at this time, King Duan called Lin Mu, who was about to leave, "I heard that Lin Shi said that he bought some foreign goods from foreigners in the past two days to supplement the Ning army, but is there such a thing?" ”
"It is true." Lin Mu truthfully explained that now Jiangning Mansion is under the control of King Duan, and he can't escape King Duan's sight in this matter.
King Duan sighed: "At the moment of national crisis, Lin Shi said that it is a righteous move to spend money to train the Ning army, but this can be a model for hundreds of officials, but you also know the current situation in Jiangning, all kinds of materials are stretched, and the only way to allocate some grain and grass to the Ning army is to allocate some grain and grass." ”
Lin Mu was a little surprised, the king of the heart was found out by his conscience? Glancing at King Duan's sincere eyes, he said: "Your Highness can remember Ning Jun is enough to comfort the lower officials, please rest assured, if the Jin soldiers come, the Ning Army will definitely fight to the last man." ”
"Okay." Duan Wang smiled with bitterness.
Ren Anyixin's description of the situation in Linhai City made him feel cold in his heart, and now he didn't know that the Jiangning defenders would be able to fight.
Now he has asked Liu Jiangbai to secretly check the armament situation to see if the ammunition in Jiangning City is also fraudulent.
It was with this in mind that he would think of the regimental training, if the imperial army's army was unusable, he could only rely on the regimental training to guard Jiangning.
Arching his hand, Lin Mu said goodbye to King Duan, he is very busy now, and now that Linhai City is broken, he is afraid that he will be even busier.
There is no other reason, there are a few generals of the Chinese Dynasty army who can be trusted, and no one has a score.
Now that the Jin people have seized Linhai and driven straight in, he has to rely on himself even more.
Back at the Grange, Lin Mu came to the front of the Wubao under construction, and with the busy work of more than 3,000 workers, now the foundation of the Wubao has been laid, and now the workers are building the wall.
According to the plan, his Wubao is backed by a col of Zhongshan, and the outward side is an arc, in general, Wubao is 500 meters wide and 1,500 meters long, but because of the existence of the col, only the wall of 500 meters on the front of the wall and the wall of 700 meters on both sides are built, and the rest is a natural col.
After inspecting the progress of the mountain pass, Lin Mu expressed his satisfaction, and then he went to the military factory.
On the inside of Uborg, there are now two rectangular modern brick and concrete buildings, which were carried out at the same time as the construction of Uborg.
However, the interior of the plant is still very simple, and it can only be said that it can only be used, but now that the military factory urgently needs the plant, it can only be used.
Entering the factory, a hot wind suddenly came to the surface, some workers were melting steel ingots to cast artillery, and some workers were casting solid shells.
"Big brother, six field guns were cast today." Seeing Lin Mu coming back, Lin Feng pulled Lin Mu to the place where the artillery was stored.
These days, Lin Feng and the blacksmith successfully made the iron molds of the six-pounder field gun and the twelve-pounder gun.
Today the artillery is officially produced from iron molds.
Coming to the storage room where the artillery was placed, Lin Mu saw six guns with a shimmering metallic luster, which looked very heavy because of the high-quality steel used.
"Let the workers immediately install the wheels on these guns, so that they can be flexibly transferred in the war." Lin Mu was very satisfied with the artillery, but he wanted field artillery, so these cannons had to be able to move on the battlefield.
Lin Feng replied that he already knew the structure of the field artillery, which was actually to give the artillery a mobile gun mount.
The artillery was produced, and Lin Mu was settled, and then he and Lin Feng walked to the opposite plant.
Workers here are using hand-cranked lathes to polish the parts needed for Minnie rifles, and a dozen or so overseers with vernier calipers walk around the workers to check the dimensions of the parts they have produced.
In the second half of the factory, some workers are using broaching machines to hook rifling wires with hook knives and rifling distances, and the barrels they cut are taken directly from the urban space.
"Big brother, now that the workers are basically skilled, they already have a lot of parts in reserve, and they can be assembled as soon as the barrel is ready."
Lin Mu nodded, rifling is the most difficult now, because of this, he divided five hundred people to cut the rifling of the barrel, once the barrel is qualified, the first batch of Mini rifles will not be far away.
